Complaints Regarding Homeless/External Safety:
he homeless concerns are being addressed with both municipal and non -governmental
organizations. \Xle are working with the police, public works, city legal, etc. I think that if we can
get a handle on the homeless situation (and concerns surrounding that issue) the concern about the .
number of on -site parking spaces due to safety issues should have been addressed.
• Arena needs to provide more parking on its grounds for customers because of neighborhood
conditions. [Comment also found under Parking]
• To many hum sleeping on the street it vas very scary

was not aware of the homeless people in the vicinity of the arena. they were right in the area
where needed to park. was frightened. Actually ran full speed to the arena as it was a
frightening experience.
• For the first time in the number of years that I have been going to AA Arena, where I felt a
very uncomfortable with the surroundings.
• First all the prices were very high. Where I parked which was next to Miami Dade Community
College there was no security when we arrived, and there were more homeless than usual in
the area, making it feel a little uneasy for two women walking alone. [Comment also found
under Parking]
0 Miami is a third world city and the abomination known as parking around the Triple A (as it
was before at the old Arena) continues to frighten even the most fearless person...between the
chaos of cars, the poorly lit lots and streets and the mass of homeless people, parking and
walking to the Arena always makes attending events here a negative experience

Complaints Regarding Homeless/External Safety:
The Arena itself was fairly typical of others. However, the down Miami experience at night is not pleasant.
We did not feel safe at times. I will forward this concern to the MPD, Downtown District, Police
Commander.

• Heartbreaking to have to walk through so many homeless people that are sleeping around the areas
where you park... 111 We arc working with the City of Miami Police, certain sections of social
services ("(reenshirts"), and community based organizations in an effort to address thjconcern.
• The grounds need paving, 1 ruined a pair of heels getting through the parking lot a1onJheri the
stragglers that linger around thc lots begging is annoying. [271 This sounds like this NV3'; inside one of
the parking lots to the west of the arena. I believe the city is working, with those prope•tv owners in
order to improve overall security through addressing fencing, lighting, and paving.
• 1 wish there were something to be done for all the homeless people sleeping there. 130]
• Note that police were available before the event but not after [33 The police call for this event \vas

Obviously the majority of the officers pre- and post- are assigned to traffic posts. We do have
officers at ad of the major intersections as staffing allows.
